"Steathing" - And Why It's Rape

27 April 2017

We started talking about a new trend called “Stealthing” but it prompted a listener to come forward and tell us about how she dealt with her rape.

“Stealthing” is when a man secretly removes his condom during sex.
A Swiss court convicted a man of rape after he took off his condom without telling his partner. The court concluded that the woman would have said no to sex if she knew the condom would be removed.
Is being convicted as a rapist too harsh a punishment for stealthing?
Or maybe you think that even though consent has been given for sex, that does not give anyone the right to knowingly force their partner into unprotected sex?
